I have a user with the following problem:

I need help with the following. I currently use the following command to
change the internal attributes of my executables on HPUX 11i so that they
will pick up shared library linkages they need.

chatr +s enable myexecutable
export SHLIB_PATH='/xyz/lib'

What I would like to use is a linkage opt to set this automatically, so it
is set when the build is done. I am pretty sure there is one since I saw
it once somewhere, but unfortunately forgot where. I am using gcc to
compile along with the native linker (to my knowledge).

Any thoughts? I've looked at the link command options (ld), but to
no avail...

From "man ld"

+b path_list Specify a colon-separated list of directories
(embedded path) to be searched at program run-time
to locate shared libraries needed by the
executable output file that were specified with
either the -l or -l: option. An argument
consisting of a single colon ( indicates that ld
should build the list using all the directories
specified by the -L option and the LPATH
environment variable (see the +s option).

you can also use the +s linker option to enable SHLIB_PATH lookup.
that lets the users have whatever path they want, unlike in the +b
case where they're restricted to the embedded path. note that +b
doesnt enable SHLIB_PATH lookup. if you are building a 64-bit binary,
SHLIB_PATH and embedded path lookup should be on by default unless
there is a +noenvvar option somewhere on the link line or in the
enviroment variable LDOPTS in the build environment.
